Abstract: Security systems and methods (10, 10', 10") configured for use with an item of merchandise (20, 20', 20") for retail display include a housing (21, 51', 56"), at least one sensor (26, 26', 26") carried by the housing, and at least one output device (27, 27', 27") carried by the housing. The security system further includes a controller (35, 35', 35") carried by the housing and operably coupled to the sensor and to the output device. The controller is operable to determine a distance traveled by the item of merchandise from a retail display "home" position (37, 37', 37") based upon a sensor input from the sensor, and to activate the output device based upon the distance traveled by the item of merchandise exceeding a threshold distance. The controller may utilize the at least one sensor in conjunction with an inertial navigation system (INS) and motion processing algorithms or techniques to determine the distance traveled by the item of merchandise from the retail display "home" position. The components (sensor, controller and output device) of the security system may belong to an electronic item of merchandise being displayed and configured in an anti- theft mode or externally applied to the item. A potential purchaser is free to examine the item but is prevented from stealing it.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for predicting the potential for severe weather. Data associated with lightning activity is received by a computing device. A location, a movement speed, a movement direction, and a lightning rate of one or more cells of lightning activity are determined by the computing device based on the received data. The lightning rate is compared, by the computing device, to a threshold lightning rate. One or more geographical areas at risk are determined by the computing device based on the location, the movement speed and the movement direction of the one or more cells of lightning activity. An alert is issued by the computing device to one or more remote devices monitoring the geographical areas when the lightning exceeds a value of the threshold lightning rate.

Title: An efficient method for selecting representative elementary volume in digital representations of porous media
Inventor: DE PRISCO GIUSEPPE
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 2013-02-04
Granted: 2015-05-14
Abstract: The present invention relates a method to estimate representative elementary volume (REV) in a sample of porous media wherein the sub-volume selected is a better approximation of the elementary volume than existing methods. REV in a sample of porous media such as rock can be defined wherein the REV is selected with respect to the expected direction of fluid flow through the porous media. The method can quantify how good is the digital representation of a rock and how accurate a description of a fluid flow through Darcy's law will be, and allows the evaluation of different length scales in different directions for the REV and an assessment of the anisotropy of the pores structures when the method is applied in different directions. The method also can determine a robust criteria to understand when a trend of porosity -permeability breaks down due to an insufficient size of the subsample.

Title: Sliding sleeve having contracting, segmented ball seat
Inventor: LARISEY MICHAEL SHANE
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 2013-12-13
Granted: 2016-06-30
Abstract: A sliding sleeve (100) opens with a deployed ball (B). The sleeve has a seat (150) disposed in the housing (120), and the seat has segments (152) biased outward from one another with a C-ring or other biasing element (154). Initially, the seat has an expanded state in the sliding sleeve so that the seats segments expand outward against the housing's bore. When an appropriately sized ball is deployed downhole, the ball engages the expanded seat. Fluid pressure applied against the seated ball moves the seat into the inner sleeve's bore. As this occurs, the seat contracts, which increases the engagement area of the seat with the ball. Eventually, the seat reaches the shoulder (137) in the inner sleeve so that pressure applied against the seated ball now moves the inner sleeve in the housing to open the sliding sleeve's flow port (126).
